Robin is a versatile young English conductor/composer with a reputation for dynamic performances across a wide range of contemporary and established repertoire.

 

Following tours as Assistant Conductor for English Touring Opera's critically acclaimed Spring Tour (March-July '23), and Associate Music Director for OperaUpClose's The Flying Dutchman (July '23), in September 2023 Robin began a three-year tenure as Chief Conductor of the Liverpool Mozart Orchestra, an orchestra with whom he has already built a fruitful relationship. He will return to OperaUpClose as Associate Music Director / Music Supervisor for their 2025 production of Vaughan Williams' Riders to the Sea.

 

Equally at home in front of a full symphony orchestra, period instrument ensemble or contemporary music specialist ensemble, Robin brings a driving energy and detailed eye to his wide repertoire. With a particular passion for British 20th century music, he has recorded lesser known works by Bax, Moeran and Carwithen for BBC Radio 3 and others.

 

Robin is also a professional composer, arranger, and editor, having arranged for both classical and cross-over projects with a variety of ensembles. He regularly works as an arranger for the ensembles such as the BBC Philharmonic and OperaUpClose. His arrangements have been broadcast on national radio and his reductions of orchestral works for chamber ensembles have sold internationally. He has also conducted his own arrangements live on television for events such as BBC's Children in Need.
